So please no more systemd. :) Nixos is already very tied to systemd. I'm not a fan of systemd either, however think of using systemd just for the dependencies part at initrd time. Being simple is for year '90, if you want it simple is perhaps because you don't have certain needs.
I agree, nixos could have generic option for an init system, but it does not apply to this discussion. If there will be a generic interface to any init systems in nixos, then the initrd will be ported to it. If you have a more technical reason about not having systemd in initrd, please tell me.
